What's Your Baby's Name?

Since I've noticed a lot more people coming up with names for their babies I thought we could share this with others and have a little fun with it by telling us your best/worst moment in time with your laptop.

Before posting this I could've sworn I tried a thread like this in the past, but I don't know if I did. If I did, let the flaming begin~! No, no, don't do that please.



Anyhoo' as many of you know my baby's name is Celia and she's sick right now so I took her over to the nice folks at PacificNotebooks to give to the scary doctors at Asus to have a look-see.

Hopefully they notice the obvious sgrapes and scarring and notice her cough.

Cheers,
Mike

Edit:: changed skrapes with a c to sgrapes...dang censor

 

Whistler.

My desktop is named Blackcomb...



Oh and for a bad experience with my laptop. I think you can do a search on the threads I posted here about the recovery program not working (F9 or F12, on startup if I remember correctly...) Long story short, basically instead of my laptop booting into Windows, it would boot into the recovery program. However, it would give errors on when I'd try to restore it! I was going to reformat the whole thing with the restore CDs but it still wouldn't work. (I thought that the HDD or one of the connections was fubared)After a long time, I figured out that activating the restore function on startup activates the restore partition on the Hard Drive. All I had to do was "de-activate" that partition and my data on the HDD was saved

 

Surprisingly, I didn't name my laptop.

I don't intend to neither.

 

My Yvonne been [edited out for language appropriateness] lately, but i had the cure ^^;

Cori, you did give ur lappy a name when you installed windoz =p
System Properties -> Computer Name -> Full Computer Name
-.-;

 

I still believe that coriolis is lying. YOU LIAR YOU MUST HAVE NAMED HER~!!!

I know you have. You're just embarrassed, haha.

 

My guess for Coriolis' laptop's name is something related to anime/japanese

 

I didn't even have a name for my hamsters and you want i have a name for my laptop.. you guys are completely crazy!.

 

Oh, that.....

 

like it or not, you probably have a name on the laptop.

If you check it in the computer properties it's there. Probably something like "Asus-98984390" or some default value the system restore cds put in.

 

V6Va it is then

 

my most embaressing moment was 10 minutes into turning it on accidentally deleting the recovery partition. Im toying with the name elayne or "die customs die"

 

Ewww. Elayne is nicer.
Matty, how's the weather in sydney? Melbourne is grey and chilly

 

Name my lappy?! I never think that question before... But it remind me that "Lappy" sound cute for my laptop... so I decided call it "Lappy"... LOL!!!
GO!! LAPPY!! GO FETCH!!!!

 

Its the same here Seb getting quite chilly to, my mum and sister have gone down to melbourne for the week.

 

You guys are hilarious...
I never bothered to name my laptop... but I've always been fond of the (female) names Layla and Yuna <--- yeah... I'm a Final Fantasy fan.


And similar to cori's computer...my computer's name is Z63a...lol

 

Aurora, join the club. Rename it to Layla

 

Well these aren't "official" names, but I had to put something when installing windows. Named my main rig "fragb0x" and the laptop "fragb00k"

 

Kayli for me =D

 

You guys are really weird

 

really weird is when you have a family name for it too

i think im going for 'siesta'
lol. dunno.. just like the sound of it
and then i can say.. i need my daily dose of 'siesta'
hur hur hur

 

My W3v is named 'JediWarPig', as well as most of my consumer electronics (including my wireless network). The company name is 'The Brotherhood of the Burning Sky' on all my systems.
All name are copyrighted, so don't steal them.

 

Here's mine. My other baby (not the desktop,my phone - is named Zoxan)



I also felt free to post in an Asus section,even though I have an Acer. After all,we're all A's

 

LOL, sweet names.

I like Yuna because it's also a korean name.

I would put up a screen shot of my baby Celia's name but she's not home. She's at the doc's office for the weekend, hopefully have her back monday or tuesday.

*sigh*

My desktop is named Callisto, she's a hottie. hahahaha

 

Awwwww. Callisto looks nice.
lol =p

 

My laptop is named Bob. Good ol' reliable Bob! My best friend from highschool recently bought a laptop (Toshiba though). We were talking and discovered she'd named her's too! And what did she name it? BOB!

So far I haven't had any serious problems with Bob. I did have to get an updated ati driver though (which was difficult because ATI stupid catalyst checker thing). Whatever one came with the laptop caused the screen to go screwy and cause a serious system error on windows every few boots. >_>

 

hey i remember Bob!
cori made a picture of Bob, right?
hah

 

my A6Ja is named 'thepower'

 

My toshiba is Malachi
and my desktop is Diogenes

 

My lappy is called Inquisition.
A friend of mine named his desktop Fridge and his laptop Icebox, which I thought was clever. There's a bit of an inside joke in that, but it's still clever without knowing that.

Jay

 

Keira hehehe

 

My Desktop C: partition is named Roland, and my D: partition is named Flagg (all the naughty stuff and such...). I'm thinking of naming my laptop Eddie or Jake, but I dunno.

(As you can tell, I'm a Dark Tower freak.)

 

Of course, if she's as sexy as I think she will be, I'll name her Jenna.

Then we'll elope to some tropical island and I'll hire a crew to film all the exploits between me and my Jenna. Then I'll sell them on the Interweb and we'll be rich, and men will drool over her, and they'll all want to be me, and we'll be famous....

 

At the risk of being boring - something like W3J-AHL. Short, Sweet, and Serves me well!

 

Just be careful and use protection. You wouldn't want to get a virus or a back-door hack. Also, keep in mind that it's called a "parallel" port, so none of this perpendicular stuff.

Do send pictures, though

 

As i said in the other thread, my laptops name is Alice. Alice the ASUS!!

 

I'll send pics, alright.

I dare someone to hack me. I love the back door.

Parallel, perpendicular, sideways, superior and inferior, anterior and posterior, it's all mine! I paid for it! Ought to get some good lovin' for $1800 smackers.

 

Hahaha =p
Be careful with Jenna. If u take her on ur lap and heat her up, u'll end up roasting your nuts xD!

 

She's gonna be there to cool them off, though...

 

Yeah, I suppose if they get too hot she could always just bl- ... OOOoohhh...

 

Now this thread just went off on a tangent...

 

LOL.. as amusing as this is getting, cool it down guys... or else I'm gonna have to edit the posts for appropriateness.

No more inuendo!

 

X_x;;;;;;;
Back to topic. Aurora, did you rename ur baby to Kayla?

 

No no.. it's still Z63a. LOL... no exotic names for my toy

 

Hmmm, I never thought to name my computer

Fatboy seems like an appropriate name for a z81sp

 

How about CharlesLamb?

 

I can't believe this post is up to 5 pages already...

Do you introduce your laptop by name to others as well???

Man, If I had named a laptop, I certainly wouldn't be admitting it openly...I just hope no one you care about see's this for your sakes

 

LOL you guys are freakin' jokes.

Coma why wouldn't you let people know? Come on don't be a coward, and whoever makes fun of you can get a face full of your fist or the underside of your notebook so she can have her vengeance too.

Aurora how about Zeea. Since Z63a kind of looks like Zeea. So that's pronounced Zay, like say, and -ah. So Zayah or Zeea. You like, you like?

I know you liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiike it.

 

Being a huuuge Babylon 5 fan, my new A6Ja is "Ranger-1" - The system drive is "Minbari" (Strange and Mysterious) and the data drive is "Downbelow"

 

Well, my girlfriend already knows I'm a "Notebook Geek" according to the forums, so I don't think naming my laptop will alter that status too much

 

I haven't thought of a name for the laptop I'll (hopefully) be getting soon .. but I did name my Logitech MX-500 'Ralph'
